You must be joking Alberta, and no doubt the incarcerated Coutts13 are happy as little neotheofascist clams about it; though from the safety of their jail shells for now, thankfully. Rachel Notely, leader of the Alberta New Democratic Party and the (now) official opposition soberly tried to warn you about Jason Kenney and his United Conservative Party back in 2019 when she was still premier, but old habits die hard and you just couldn’t resist that little man rolling around in his royal blue pick up, yee-hawing from town to town, could you? Did you even know that truck was only leased, and couldn’t you see for yourself that it had no lift-kit, let alone a ‘cummins’ diesel with the emissions regulator gutted and an exhaust pipe at face level? Why, that thing couldn’t have rolled coal if its tank was filled with surplus horse dewormer, but you more than made up for that (cough) omission yourself last February partying in Ottawa on some hostile-as-you foreigners’ dime with your fave MPP Randy Hillier under the Diagalon flag, dincha?
Anyway, now that Jason Kenney has been ousted from his 3 year stint of peeing down Albertans’ backs and telling everyone ‘it’s raining’ it appears that on Oct.6, 2022 Danielle Smith and her supporters purchased the premiership of a province in Canada.
That’s right, approximately 65000 people, around 35000 of which voted for Ms.Smith, bought United Conservative Party memberships and chose the next leader of the UCP, who automatically became Alberta’s premier.
That is around 1% of the province’s eligible electorate that just experienced the purchased privilege of choosing who became the next leader of Alberta’s government. Danielle Smith is not even elected to office, she has no seat in the Alberta legislature.
What she does have is a whole lot of ideas, bad ideas, someone please tell Danielle SNL already did the skit years ago.
Oh the headline? Alberta’s freshly appointed, unseated in the legislature, no mandate premier, who only won the premiership after the 7th round of counting second and third choices, had this to say,
“ (The unvaccinated) have been the most discriminated-against group that I’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime,” -Danielle Smith
I jape you not.
